Stitch Along With Barbara

I took photos of the DVD in progress on my iMac, by the way. I could use my mouse to select a menu item, but you could also use your remote control for a DVD player connected to your tv.

There are 18 different pattern stitches demo-ed on this DVD.

That’s the first page of the stitches menu — there are three pages of stitch pattern menus: lace, texture, and colorwork. When you select an item, you first get an overview.

And there is a video demonstrating each stitch!

The DVD also contains a great reference section:

And a video of Barbara Walker!

The same company has also released a knitting eBook, with videos embedded in the eBook. This is available in the iTunes store and is the first of a series of eBooks.

I think both the DVD and the eBook would be great for beginner or intermediate knitters looking to increase their skills.

So I’m giving away the review DVD I received. It has been opened and played once.

If you’d like to be entered in the drawing for this DVD, leave a comment on this blog post by noon, Eastern Time, on Sunday, October 16. I’ll use the random number generator at that time to pick a winner from the comments submitted.

I spent the weekend doing alarming things, knitting-wise. At this moment I have four projects on the needles. Those of you who know me know that this is virtually unheard-of. I can’t remember the last time I had more than two projects in progress at the same time.

Stop by on Thursday to see if I have maintained my sanity in these troubled times.

I am an intermediate knitter who is now finally having time to do the projects I want to do:-)
That is an interesting DVD that I would sure make use of; thanks for offering as a gift!.Ellen Griffin´s last blog post ..DONE!

forgot to say that I have the 2nd edition of her Treasury of Knitting Patterns that I got on line from a library that had “pitched” it! A great resource and it can be found in the used book section of on line book dealers. We have one copy at our main library and I did not want to risk them deciding to eliminating it in the future.

Having multiple knitting projects means never becoming tired of one project — just move from one to the next. That said, I find that there is always one that becomes an obsession. My two latest obsessions — knitting pumpkins to felt (a repeat of last year) and hand puppets for the knitting group I joined after moving to Salisbury MD this summer. The DVD sounds lovely! Thanks for the encouragement to leave a comment and a chance to win!

Something strange must be happening – I usually have more projects going than I can shake a stick at but at the moment am captivated by one and one alone. I was thinking earlier today “Wendy’s right – you get a project done much faster when it’s the only one you work on.”
And I bet it would go even faster watching Barbara Walker.
